Who we support

To be considered for a Sellafield Ltd grant or reusable equipment donation you must be applying on behalf of a social enterprise, voluntary group or community group local to our sites and offices. Sellafield Ltd has a strong preference to work with local rather than national organisations aiming to support and strengthen the communities and boroughs close to our sites.

Boroughs eligible for funding are:

Copeland

Allerdale

Warrington

Projects we support

We fund grants of up to a maximum of £5,000 to enable social enterprises, voluntary groups and community groups do something they otherwise could not afford to do. Priority will be given to projects that aim to support sustainable activities which will create self-reliance and independence.

Preferred project aims:

To support the needs of children in our communities

To support young people in their development in education and skills

To make a positive difference in our most vulnerable neighbourhoods

To improve well-being in our communities

How applications are considered

We have a charity committee who meet regularly to review applications and award grants and reusable equipment donations. The final decision will be at the Company’s discretion.

Funding exclusions

Sellafield Ltd will not provide grants to support the following:

General running costs including staff costs

Charity Vouchers will be posted once the correct delivery address has been confirmed.
Bacs transfer will be made once the correct bank account details have been confirmed.
